Overview

• Carola Veit’s planned June 13 return was delayed when Israel launched strikes on Iranian targets on June 12, prompting a closure of its airspace.
• On June 16, Veit drove from Tel Aviv to Amman via the Allenby/King Hussein Bridge before flying through Jeddah, Doha and Turkey to Hamburg.
• During her extended stay, she sheltered multiple times as rocket attacks triggered Tel Aviv’s strict warning and protection protocols.
• Veit reported that Israelis she encountered broadly supported the government’s military response to Iran, seeing Tehran as their greatest threat.
• After arriving safely on June 17, she voiced solidarity with civilians in Israel, Gaza and Iran and called for international efforts toward lasting regional stability.
